Flea 5/4/2013 9:13:37 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Very Solid Dives Pros: Running in Raid 0 configuration. ATO indicates over 1000 MB/Sec read and 900 MB/Sec write. Can't beat those speeds unless running PCI Express SSD. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Cost is a little high but worth the speed. No hang problems - can't see why some are indicating they are having issues. If they do some research before purchasing it would clear a lot of there issues up. Have fun with these and get two and run them in Raid 0. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Shane 5/1/2013 10:24:09 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5No problems Pros: Fast, Stable. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Intel website had a free tool to clone my old 320GB drive onto the 240Gb drive. I later did a clean install of Windows 8 64bit, which also probably got rid of a lot junk. Do I really need a SSD, maybe not. For a work laptop Intel was a fast / safe option, especially if your laptop supports 2 drives. Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 4/9/2013 10:22:01 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5its an SSD with 240GB Pros: -obviously very fast -fits all your data plus more, only had to start uninstalling games after 1/2 a year -my brother and I got same setups except I went with an SSD and mine is soo much faster in daily tasks Cons: at regular pricing may be better idea to get an HDD instead. I got it for $140 Other Thoughts: if your going to use an SSD make sure you turn off defragmenting and configure it right only had it for about a year but I'm pretty sure it will last forever as SSDs are supposed to last much longer than HDD 's Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 3/21/2013 12:13:16 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5GREAT!! Pros: Fits Macbook Pro Fast! Cons: None? Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 3/4/2013 9:01:26 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Fast SSD Pros: Installation in my 2009 MacBook Pro went smoothly, though you'll need a Torx T6 screwdriver for that. Everything feels much faster compared to the original hard drive, apps that used to take 5 seconds to open now start in under a second. Cons: I can only get a 1.5 Gbps link speed instead of the full 3 Gbps, but that may be due to my computer and not a fault of this drive Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 2/21/2013 8:04:01 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5 Pros: Super fast upgrade from my 7200rpm drive. Top notch Intel software. Cons: Price? Got a good sale price but still... Other Thoughts: Intel software made it really easy to clone my old drive and replace with this one. Also the Intel SSD monitoring software lets me know estimated remaining lifespan of the drive and perform routinte maintenance. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

DjordanB 2/18/2013 6:44:29 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Incredible and Fast Pros: You can never go wrong with Intel. I was a little bit hesitant to go with this SSD with it being so new and with so few ratings but am glad I did! I have not had a single problem with it since I bought it at a screaming good price around ThanksGiving a few months ago. The main reason I went with this SSD is because of the brand, I knew I could trust Intel and just bought an i7 intel processor and because it's fast, incredibly fast. Windows boots in 7 seconds, that's 7 seconds from the time I press the power button to being able to run programs with out delay or loading. Cons: None, SSD are not cheap but is anything of good quality cheap? Other Thoughts: SSD is worth every penny you will spend, my only suggestion is to wait for sales, they have them regularly, I bought this one for 25% of MSRP and have not found one less expensive for this size. I suggest (depending on your PC uses) going with a SSD between 240Gb and 256Gb and a SATA harddisk HD 500Gb-1Tb. Use the SSD to store your OS and your programs you want to run and load faster and your other harddrive as a storage drive for everything else, can't go wrong that way. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

N/A 2/11/2013 6:35:56 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5 Pros: hoping my boot time would have been faster using an SSD but I think I just had unrealistic expectaions. Cons: it's made my microsoft who likes them anyways...... 0 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Christian 2/3/2013 1:50:14 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Outstanding Speed Pros: Outstanding speed, great 3 year warranty as well, however I have no doubt this will last longer than 3 years. The software it comes with is also excellent, I took full advantage of the cloning software as well as the SSD optimizer. Sata III is great as well - file transfers can hit 200+ mB/s, and boots windows 8 in 12 seconds Cons: As with all SSD's, it's not quite as fast when full Other Thoughts: It'll be nice when SSD's start becoming affordable in the 500 GB range Did you find this review helpful?
